Raw Juice and Your Body

The health benefits of drinking raw juices are many. Just like there are a million different reasons to base a diet on fruits and vegetables. Here are some of the benefits to juicing at a glance:

• The juices extracted from raw fruits & vegetables require no digestion & almost all their vital nutrients are assimilated directly into the bloodstream.

• Raw juices are extremely rich in alkaline elements.  This is highly beneficial in normalizing acid alkaline balance in the blood & tissues as there is over acidity in most conditions of ill health.

• Raw juices of fruits & vegetables are extremely rich in vitamins & minerals, trace elements, enzymes & natural sugars. They help in normalizing all body functions. They supply needed elements for the body’s own healing activity & cell regeneration.

• Raw juices contain certain natural medicines, vegetal hormones & antibiotics.  For instance, string beans are said to contain an insulin like substance.  Certain hormones needed by the pancreas to produce insulin are present in cucumber & onion juices.  Fresh juices of garlic, onions, radish & tomatoes contain antibiotic substances.

• Generous amounts of easily assimilable organic minerals in raw juices especially calcium, potassium & silicon help in restoring biochemical & mineral balance in the tissues & cells, thereby preventing premature aging of cells & disease.
